one of the scariest stories i have ever read. The imagery is embedded in your mind. you can actually see the floors moving. The cask of amontillado is also amazing. Edgar Allen Poe goes into the depths of the human mind and pulls out your worst nightmares to display on the table. I don't think you will find horror stories better than the works of Poe.
